Bathymetric and sidescan-sonar data, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provide a framework for research and management activities along western Block Island Sound, show the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provide information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During June 2013, bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of a ground-truth reconnaissance survey of this area. Interpretations were derived from the multibeam-echosounder, sidescan-sonar, sedimentary, and photographic data collected in Block Island Sound. For more information on the ground-truth survey see . Purpose: To release a grid of the 2-m bathymetry generated from NOAA survey H12298 in Block Island Sound in UTM Zone 19, NAD 83.

An erroneous point in the grid that wasn't edited out results in the statistics showing a depth of 111.84 meters as the deepest part of the survey. This point was eliminated when bilinear resampling was used to convert the UTM grid to geographic and the deepest part of that grid is 101.96 meters. Completeness_Report: All collected data were processed and used to produce this dataset. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Navigation was by differential GPS using Trimble DSM212L DGPS receivers (accurate to <1m). CARIS HIPS was used to process bathymetry data including correcting for vessel offset. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The vertical resolution of the original bathymetry data is approximately 0.5% of the water depth. Depths are corrected for tides.

Process_Step: Process_Description: Bathymetric data were acquired in extended Triton data format (XTF) and recorded digitally through an ISIS data acquisition system. A RESON SeaBat 7125 multibeam echosounder, with a frequency of 400 kHz, was used to collect MBES data on the Thomas Jefferson and both survey launches. All positioning and attitude were determined with Trimble DSM212L DGPS receivers and Applanix POS/MV Model 320 v.4 inertial navigation systems. The data were processed using CARIS HIPS (Hydrographic Image Processing System) software for quality control, and to incorporate sound velocity and tidal corrections. Sound velocity corrections were derived using frequent SEACAT CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) profiles. Typically, a CTD cast was conducted every three to four hours of multibeam acquisition. Tidal zone corrections were calculated from data acquired at the Newport, Rhode Island, New London, Connecticut, and Montauk, New York tidal gauges and a subordinate gauge at Orient Harbor, NY. The vertical resolution of the multibeam data is approximately 0.5% of the water depth. Vertical datum is mean lower low water; X and Y units are meters; UTM Zone 19, NAD 83.

The ASCII raster file was converted to a binary Esri grid using the ASCII to raster tool in ArcGIS v10.0, SP2 (ArcToolbox, Conversion Tools, To Raster, ASCII to Raster), retaining the grid cell size (2 meter node spacing). The projection information (NAD_1983_UTM_Zone_19N) was then written to the binary grid using the Define Projection tool (ArcToolbox, Data Management Tools, Projections and Transformations).
